Princewill1: You are such an arrogant hypocrite just like most Nigerians are, you said you don't judge us yet you falsely call us LAZY, RUDE, and UNCULTURED. Ironically that's how most people see Nigerians. 1 Like |

khiaa: Yes, paid for by progressive taxation. I'm sure everyone understands that "free" there doesn't mean unfunded. Poor people pay little in taxes, but their children get a good education if their kids want it (many of them mock high performing black kids in school as "acting white". I didn't say anything about only Igbos having aspirations. You obviously need a refresher on grade school English comprehension if that is worth you understood from my comment. I was showing the difference between victimhood created by sectarian strife which has led to political marginalization, and self-victimhood which obstructs individual progress. In the context of Nigerian relations, Igbo disillusionment about Nigerian politics doesn't affect our individual life in any way. I focus on the negatives in African-American society cos I do want the best for them and the statistics about their social dysfunction are alarming and they've made little progress in decades, partly attributable to the nihilistic fiction fed to many young black Americans that they have no productive future in a racist nation that is set up to obstruct their progress. I swear African-Americans need a similar program as Jewish-Americans who are sponsored on "birthright" trips to Israel. Young African-Americans need to take a trip to Subsaharan Africa. To see the land of their ancestors. To see what hardship and poverty and deprivation and a lack of opportunity really means. Then they might actually buckle up, get a life, get responsible and stop whining about all the ways the evil white man are oppressing them, and live a productive life. 6 Likes |

nomenclature: So sickening how ignorant and non-empathetic some Nigerians are. So AA and South Africans blame whites for woes, who do Nigerians blame for living in an all black country with poor roads, no steady electricity and no jobs for the young people? And least we don’t oppose our own kind. 4 Likes |

booblacain: Of course they are not. Even people that are considered in poverty in the US are actually rich compared to even middle class people in Nigeria. They have 24/7 lights, access to health care, plenty of food, the internet, good roads, etc etc. Let the Naija folk hate. Not sure why they don’t unite with us. Sad. 2 Likes |

khiaa: So ignorant, Black Americans are in no way threatened by so called confident Nigerians. If you understand history, we are actually West African and probably share DNA with many of you. And I agree, worldwide Nigerians and African Americans are seen negativity. People that tear each other down of course can’t be respected by outsiders. 1 Like |

Supersweet2019: Actually African Americans aren't seen in a negative light, people worldwide imitate and love our culture, it's Nigerians who are seen in a negative light because of all the scamming, drugs, sex trafficking, and child porn they are involved in when they migrate to other countries. To be honest most black Americans don't see Nigerians as a threat because Nigerians don't exist in their world. 1 Like |

Destroyerofyeeb: So why are the whites not loud, rude and obnoxious since it's sign of self worthiness. Behaving and talking like touts while disturbing other people is a sign of ignorance and uncivilization my friend. We'll still complain when it's African Americans that do it but believe everything we do is perfect. I feel very ashamed when I am around my people and other people can identify us based on the stupid noise they are making and the way they carried their shoulders. If it's not insecurity, it's stupidity. |

olu77: "You have no idea.." no, YOU have no idea Africans are the worst victims of slavery and oppression They are the most degraded and exploited From testing biological weapons to organ harvesting to genocidal wars to mass murder, cruel population reduction schemes, starvation, slavery, ethnic cleansing u name it All sort of evil has been carried out and is still being carried out on them They are so used to evil being done to them that they suffer and smile about it The other selfish and greedy citizens of the world don't give a shit about Black Africans cause to them they piece of shiit only ment to suffer and be exploited Everyone enjoys at the expense of Africans Their suffering and pain means nothing to others Even when others draw attention to the suffering of Africans it is nothing but a scheme to further exploit the same Africans All the bad government, coons and house slaves in Africa are the work of others For them Africa must remain down If it's within their power, left to them All Africans would be DEAD Africans would not be migrating if others have not messed up the original African set up and created all these evil problems bedeviling Africans AFRICA OWES NO ONE NO SHIIT! Rather everyone owes Africa Everyone has stolen and still steals from Africa Africans only owe it to themselves to get their acts together, and for themselves first cause they are naturally not selfish and this is the cause of their suffering and exploitation Until Africans start being selfish to the rest of the world their exploitation and evil done against them would continue Nice people are always taken advantage of Other blacks around the world should do the same No one is coming to save you Africa would get it right and rule the world and restore back order Till then every other black people around the world should do their own part and stop complaining They are not facing more demons than the Africans |

Destroyerofyeeb: You are obviously one of these stupid Nigerians who think that being loud and over confident is a sign of self-worthiness. I asked you, if it's sign of high self esteem why do we have to migrate from Ghana to South Africa? You are full of hatred from your moniker to your comments. Yes African Americans have some bad people so do we. White people have a lot of good people so do African Americans and so do we. Stop the stereotype. Stop judging everyone based on your narrow mindedness and get a life. You are not better in anyway than them and they invented most things that makes life convenient for you. |
